    GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)
    Subject: GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)

    I type lab results a lot in my clinic notes and I would go with GGT, although I transcribe it as gamma-glutamyl transferase.

    I haven't stumbled across anything for GDT, or GBT, or GDP, or anything close in Stedman's GI & GU words or in Stedman's Pathology & Lab medicine words.

    Let us know if you are able to get feedback from your doctor regarding the correct term:) I'm interested to see how this pans out.

    It is CK-MB in my abbrev. book. But if you find it both ways from a reputable source, maybe you could appeal to have the points taken off that one.

    bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
    Subject: bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth

    In Dorland's "reflection" means a bending or turning back.  I have typed the expression often and am not truly sure how to explain it, but something like where the bladder is bent or folded onto the abdominal wall - as a location.   Below is an excert from Google.  What comes up in the notes I have is the following expression:


    The anterior leaflet of the broad ligament on both sides was then incised along the bladder reflection to the midline from both sides and the bladder was gently dissected


    The reflection of bladder on to the anterior abdominal wall is identified and the peritoneum divided at this position

    NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
    Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

    the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
    How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

    Who understands what it means without an explanation?
    The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
    5 packs in 1 year.

    Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

    GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

    good/well
    Subject: good/well

    According to Webster's, good as an adjective and standard after verbs like "feel" and "taste". It goes on to say that both "good" and "well" are used to express good health, but "I feel good" may connote good spirits in addition to good health. I was always taught in English class that one feels "good," not well. If you feel well, your fingers are working correctly. Since it says that good and well are both used to express health, perhaps you can take your choice. I would write that he looks good.
